Beta 5 Fade

rope

Considering how many people think the fade's 25 hp acid rocket is pretty much useless(even with it's splash damage) in current betas, i would have expected the old , but slower, 60 hp a shot rocket to be brought back in the newer beta. Heck, as usefull as metabolize is, I would even rather have the rocket moved back to slot 3 as well in order to better defend against large groups of heavies comin for your 2nd hive and dealing out insta-death. A regen fade with the old acid rocket is much more mobil and in the fight longer than one who has to hide and heal after every blink and swipe attempt on a group. On the other hand, maybe they left fade as it is cause they want everyone to go gorge now for long range attacks with their new 30 hp damage. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

A gorge with better aim would potentially kill a marine faster yes, but a fade has a splash damage version along with more hp/armor etc.

spit already has a higher rate of fire than acid rocket

With the gorges doing more damage and posessing more health, I intend to do my fair share of early game battle-gorging. Fear.

They got 10 more armor points, thats a single unupgraded LMG bullet.

stronger gorges isnt necessarily a bad thing, I mean how weak do you think they were in b4? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> it was like "oh look its a..." and then it would have died or ran off <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

apologies misread, acidrockets are still better though :S

I think the new gorge stats are a good thing.. I mean 10 res for a slow tubby puppy that can build and has to run away, though he can only run as fast as a rine walks....

He needed a bit of help to make sure that he isn't killed so easy.

Nothing is lamer than a rine that jumps past your 1 OC you just build and that shoots 2 gorges building a second OC to death and then kills the OC's. The extra bit of damage and armor makes it slightly risky for noob rines that rush 2 gorges.

Why are you leaving your gorges to defend themselves?
